Thoughts on October List and The Abominable

October list by Jeffrey Deaver is a thriller in reverse, yes you read that right and if like me you were tempted to flick to the end, or in this case the beginning don't because you'll miss a treat. Having the story unspool before you is still satisfying. October list comes out in October.

The Abominable by Dan Simmons tells the fictional tale of a 1925 attempted ascent of Mt Everest. Great writing, plenty for the armchair adventurer, this book reminds me why I don't climb any more, also out in October, full reviews then
